      Hi! I found this article which says that rgui supports themes, as well as some user settings.


      The visual appearance of RGUI may altered by choosing one of 32 inbuilt color themes. From the top menu select Settings > User Interface > Appearance and cycle through the various Menu Color Theme options:

      Setting Menu Color Theme to Custom allows for an even greater degree of personalisation via the use of custom menu theme presets. A number of examples are provided in the RetroArch assets package, which may be downloaded by selecting from the top menu Online Updater > Update Assets. To choose one of these examples, go to Settings > User Interface > Appearance and select the Custom Menu Theme Preset option. In the file browser that opens, navigate to the rgui directory and select a .cfg file.

      A custom menu theme preset is a plain text configuration file (e.g. my_theme.cfg) with the following contents:

      rgui_entry_normal_color = "0xAARRGGBB"
      rgui_entry_hover_color = "0xAARRGGBB"
      rgui_title_color = "0xAARRGGBB"
      rgui_bg_dark_color = "0xAARRGGBB"
      rgui_bg_light_color = "0xAARRGGBB"
      rgui_border_dark_color = "0xAARRGGBB"
      rgui_border_light_color = "0xAARRGGBB"
      rgui_wallpaper = "wallpaper_file.png"
      

      So here. I have retroarch 4.4 and in the rgui settings there are no these options. In my case there are only two options. Can I get these settings in retropie? Is it possible?

        What version of RetroArch do you have installed ? It should be possible if you have the latest version included in RetroPie (1.7.9.2).

          @mitu I have retropie 4.4. I don’t remember which version of the retroarch it is built in, but I did not update it. What method can be updated retroarch as safely as possible?
